India was upset that they took a revered figure and turned him into a party head. Nothing too complicated.

Lots of Indians were offended by the portrayal of Gandhi as a party guy, and I think there were protest fasts.

#saveshadowhunters No really, season 1 was cheesy fun but drat season 2 and 3 went dark places. Plus Clary is a gorgeous redhead that I, a straight woman, want to see more of on my TV screen

zoux posted:Also the second season of The Terror: The big hurdle I see with Terror S2 is that I think S1 benefited so much from the look and feel of being trapped in the ice. It was beautiful and absolutely terrifying. Its hard to replicate that. But on the flip side Japanese internment camps obviously deal more with the horror of man than the horror of nature and the show runners absolutely have earned the benefit of the doubt that they can make it work. Its just always hard when the bar is set as high as S1 set it.

But on the flip side Japanese internment camps obviously deal more with the horror of man than the horror of nature and the show runners absolutely have earned the benefit of the doubt that they can make it work. If you liked that feel, you should read the book. While the series is excellent, it doesn't (and can't) really communicate just the oppressive, grinding nature of the cold, the ice, the cramped quarters, the sickness and mental anguish these dudes went through. The thing that stuck with me the most is the brutality of the cold, it actually makes you feel cold. You get hints of that in the show, for example when touching bare metal rips off skin, but in the book it's honestly scarier than El Oso del Muerte. Simmons, again is an islamophobic bigot who lost his mind after 9/11, but his older or his non-political stuff is really sharp. He really excels at creating these oppressive, fever-mad dreamscapes where the characters can't grasp reality. He does this with Calcutta in his first book, a Song for Kali, and he does it with the carnival in The Terror. In the book that event is confusing, frightening and almost Lovecraftian in the way it inflicts madness on its participants. It's directly influenced by Masque of the Red Death in fact. Simmons is mostly thought of as a scifi author because he wrote one of the 10 best scifi novels of all time, but most of his horror books are excellent as well. I can't speak for his recent stuff, The Terror is the only post 9/11 book of his I read. All of this is to say if you liked the show it's worth reading the book.

Yeah, the Carnival was an odd element of the Terror because I do get what they were going for with that and it sounds like the book goes more that way, but the way it played in the TV show it fell a little flat and almost felt like Crozier was just mad that his crew was getting their gay on. I guess they just had a hard time recreating that feel that the book went for while staying within the realms of reality. The beauty of how writing can use language to make things sound more fantastic than just showing it on camera does.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Kappa are loving terrifying, what are you talking about An old Japanese man is killed by uncaring internment camp guards. One night, one of the camp guards, Smithers, goes missing. A pile of entrails are found not far from where he was last seen, but no body. Several nights later, in the fog, a junior guard, Ayers, sees who he thinks is his missing friend. He cautiously approaches... ‘Smithers? Is that you?’ He smiles and says nothing, hands moving to undo his belt buckle, pants falling to the ground. He turns around, bends over... *closeup up Ayers’s eye, widening in shock* -cut to intro-

How do you even work at a company like that in 2018 and be so completely ignorant? what the hell I've started watching Detroiters and it's completely hilarious. Laughed out loud so much already. Highly recommended. How are Pose and Succession, if anyone's watching them? Seen some positive comments about Pose (from esperterra and precision, iirc?) but nothing about Succession.

It's basically a 45 minute Arrested Development / Veep Mashup. Don't expect it to be 10 jokes a minute but the characters work in the same way. I'm not really sure why HBO tries to pass it off as a drama, just looking at the showrunners IMDB page will tell you what kind of show it is.

The show is way better than advertised and it really should be marketed as a dark comedy because that's pretty much what it is. It also helps if you consider Kendall (the main son) a mixture of Michael Scott and Gob Bluth.

Succession is so good and it drives me nuts that it’s pitched as a drama. So much of it is filmed handheld with a ton of punch-ins in that Thick of It/Office style. Another fun fact, it was shot entirely in 35mm

feedmyleg posted:I saw Janeane Garofalo doing standup a couple years ago. It gave me a really good sense of what Daria would be like as a modern adult. And it was very sad. If you revive it, just set it in the 90s. Nostalgia is big right now and I doubt the kids today are clamoring for a revival of a 90s MTV show. This is also my opinion on mission hill; besides, you age it 20 years and you're gonna lose wally and gus.

Wheat Loaf posted:I will watch Supernatural one day. I wonder if super old people who just watch tv all day go back and watch all old good television from their era. Dunno if I'm the only one who had parents like this but my mom always asked me why I don't just wait to watch all the good tv shows when I'm super old and have nothing to do all day but chill in the retirement home or whatever, then I can marathon 50 years worth of Sopranos and Game of Thrones level television back-to-back without ever having to wait for a new episode or season. I think she was trying to get me to go outside and play.
